Lawless in Humboldt: Cham

January 18, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Dancehall Reggae artist Cham has played many of the world’s most prestigious stages including: Reggae Sumfest (2006), Hot 97’s On The Reggae Tip (2006), Reggaejam (2012), Montreal International Reggae Festival (2013), Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise (2015), Rototom Sunsplash (2015), Uprising Reggae Festival (2015), Overjam Festival (2015) Boomtown Fair (2015), and the iconic Northern California festival, Reggae on the River (2015, 2018).

Cham performs with his band, Mad People Gang, a set of musicians with whom he has been creating music since the beginning in their Sherlock Crescent community in Spanish Town, Jamaica. The band is comprised of two keyboard players, a drummer and a bassist. Setlists include tunes like “Babylon Bwoy”, “Ghetto Story”, “Wine” and “Tun Up”.

The 2017 single, “Money Wine”, is accompanied by a music video as part of the release of Cham’s highly-anticipated full-length album, LAWLESS, in May 2017. LAWLESS, will include 10 tracks with videos released with producer and hit maker Dave Kelly and Madhouse Records. Cham is often seen with the “Lawless” message emblazoned on his apparel as part of his branding; the artist defines the term in this way: “when we say lawless we don’t mean take people’s purses, we mean…a citizen of this world, no borders–we are all just one people.” As for the production process and his continued work with Dave Kelly, Cham notes, “music needs that chemistry, not just going into the studio, but where if you have chemistry with an individual you can make a hit.”
